I think they found the need to go higher than 5.56, which makes sense to me.
Maybe they think extremists Muslims are going to target places in the Netherlands and need to make the appropriate preparations. I don't know enough about ballistics to know why they didn't go with .308

300blk performs similar to x39 with supersonics and similar to .45acp with subsonic (though there have been people who have stated some accuracy issues with subsonic loads.)

If 300blk has any niche outside of quiet hunting, it's with small SOF units that need an MP5 sized weapon that can still kill out to 500+ yards. A short, quiet carbine firing the equivalent of 7.62x39 is going to be hard to beat for kicking in muji doors. It's just line Infantry units where it's benefits aren't really worth it.

I love these threads, because they assume the guy in charge of TO&E knows what he's doing. It's likely to provide a niche subsonic suppressed capability on a platform they already use with a minimum of equipment change.
